2003 Juno Nominees and Canadian Independent Music Award winners for "Best
Blues Album of the Year" for their second release “Long Hard Road”, The Twisters are one of the hardest hitting
acts on the blues scene today.

Paying dues to the blues tradition, The Twisters swing hard with two inspired vocalists, tightly woven harp &
guitar lines, and a relentless driving rhythm section forging a groove that refuses to be denied.

Each of the members has brought his musical talents and influences to the table, resulting in a potpourri of "Blues
Cuisine" guaranteed to satisfy the most discerning blues palette. From deep in the Mississippi Delta to early
Chicago shuffles, from infectious Texas grinders to West Coast jump and funky swamp-soaked Louisiana rhythms, The
Twisters serve up the goods. Top it all off with strong original compositions and a live show renowned for rockin’
the house and there’s only one thing left… do yourself a favour and see what the storm’s all about when The Twisters
blow through your town.

Brandon Isaak - Guitar, Vocals
This young red haired guitar player has monster tone and technique. He moved from his home town of Whitehorse,
Yukon to Vancouver, BC in 1999, where he joined the Twisters. He has shared the stage with many great blues artists,
including Taj Mahal, Lil' Ed and the Blues Imperials, Robben Ford, Canned Heat, Jeff Healey, Zora Young, Big Dave
McLean, and Rusty Zinn, just to name a few. Most recently, Brandon returned from a 2 month European tour, where
he played along side Joe Louis Walker, Willie Hayes and Ken Faltonson on numerous festivals and TV shows.

It Loose" with Kenny "Blues Boss" Wayne, and appears
on 11 albums with many different artists. When he plays, he travels to a different time and space. You can hear
it as well as see it.

Matt Pease - Drums
Matt Pease has been working professionally as a drummer for over 20 years, and credits his hard swinging style
to his early influences Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa. Matt grew up in a musical family with a large record collection
on Vancouver Island. He moved to Vancouver in 1997, after which he toured with the Michael Kaeshammer Trio in the
DuMaurier Jazz Festival. Shortly thereafter he hooked up with Juno Award winner Lee Aaron for three years. Matt
has also played with Juno Award winners Kenny “Blues Boss” Wayne and Hugh Fraser. He's jammed with Angelo Moore
(Fishbone) and members of the Brand New Heavies, and has played with artists such as Daniel Lapp, Ross Taggert,
and Marc Atkinson (The Bills).He has shared a stage with Edgar Winter, the Wailers, Green Day and the Cherry Poppin’
Daddies. Matt studied with the great Canadian drummers Claude Ranger and Don Leppard. He joined the Twisters in
early 2005.

Keith Picot - Bass
Unforgettable is what a performance by stand-up bassist Keith Picot is. Better bass players one will encounter,
but a bass player who gives more of himself and is such a joy to watch is decidedly much harder to find. Whether
singing and leading his own band, or supporting the talent of such bands as: The Twisters, Cousin Harley, Joe Dollar
and Juno Award winner Kenny "Blues Boss" Wayne, he always gives 110 percent. With a hard hitting slap
style all his own he can drive a beat like the devil, then equally and effortlessly draw out the sweet tones of
a saint. You are guaranteed pleasure when watching Keith Picot do what he loves to do.
